“…However, the progress of chemical methods suitable for the synthesis of a ternary Cu 3 BiS 3 still remains a major challenge. The wide range of techniques that have been employed to prepare Cu 3 BiS 3 semiconductor material had been reviewed with the hope of distinguishing new [43,57]; nanosheets (c) [42]; nanorods (d, e) [37,47]; dendrites (f) [56]; flower-like hierarchical (g) [38]; corallike (h) [60]; bent-like nanorods (i) [39]; spherical nanoparticles (j) [55]; nanoneedle-like (k) [29] and 3D flower-like ball (l) [45] morphologies of Cu 3 BiS 3 paths for productive research based on the present author's work.…”

“…The orthorhombic phase of wittichenite Cu 3 BiS 3 with multiarmed microrod morphology was obtained when hypocrellins were used as a template. Then, Zeng et al [38] successfully synthesized flower-like Cu 3 BiS 3 hierarchical nanostructure. In this synthesis, copper chloride dihydrate (0.4276 g), and bismuth chloride (0.1570 g) (stoichiometric ration 3:1) were dissolved into ethanol (35 ml) and glycerol (50 ml) under vital stirring for 20 min, and then thiourea (0.38 g) was added into the solution directly.…”

Since the last few decades, light-absorbing materials based on CuInGaSe 2 (CIGS), CuInS 2 (CIS), and CdTe have dominated the research in thin-film solar cells.To fabricate large-scale solar cells from these materials, problems may arise due to limited availability of the constituents, viz. Se, In, Cd, and Te, and the toxicity of some of these elements. Hence, recent research efforts are attentive toward abundantly available non-toxic, larger value of absorption coefficient and non-conventional elements. The Cu 3 BiS 3 having wittichenite orthorhombic structure is one the most promising absorber layer candidates for low-cost thin-film solar cells. It has suitable direct band gap (1.10-1.86 eV), large absorption coefficient (10 5 cm -1 ) with composition of earth abundant, and relatively non-toxic and cost-effective constituents. Till now, a majority work was done on the preparation of Cu 3 BiS 3 thin films by various techniques. Therefore, a comprehensive review of recent literature of Cu 3 BiS 3 is urgently required. This paper will review the various techniques that have been used to deposit Cu 3 BiS 3 semiconductor with the hope of new paths for the beginner.

Hydrophilic Cu3BiS3 nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared using the thermal decomposition of precursor complexes in oily‐mixed solvent followed by coating the produced Cu3BiS3 NPs with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The resulting Cu3BiS3/PVP NPs remain stable in aqueous solutions over a long period of time, and meanwhile, they show low in vitro cytotoxicity and negligible toxicity to mice in vivo. Cu3BiS3/PVP NPs could operate as an efficient dual‐modal contrast agent to simultaneously enhance X‐ray computed tomography imaging and photothermal imaging of tumor model in vivo. Moreover, highly efficient ablation of cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo has been successfully achieved by combining Cu3BiS3/PVP NPs with near‐infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. All of the positive results in this study highlight that Cu3BiS3/PVP NPs could serve as a promising platform for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Investigation of combinatorial coevaporated thin film Cu2ZnSnS4. I. Temperature effect, crystalline phases, morphology, and photoluminescence Semiconducting Cu 3 BiS 3 (CBS) thin films were deposited by co-evaporation of Cu, Bi elemental metallic precursors, with in situ sulphurisation, using a quartz effusion cell. Cu 3 BiS 3 thin films were structurally characterized by XRD and FE-SEM. The chemical bonding of the ions was examined by XPS. As deposited films were demonstrated for metal-semiconductor-metal near IR photodectection under lamp and laser illuminations. The photo current amplified to three orders and two orders of magnitude upon the IR lamp and 60 m W cm À2 1064 nm IR laser illuminations, respectively. Larger grains, made up of nano needle bunches aided the transport of carriers. Transport properties were explained based on the trap assisted space charge conduction mechanism. Steady state detector parameters like responsivity varied from 1.04 AW À1 at 60 m Wcm À2 to 0.22 AW À1 at 20 m Wcm À2 . Detector sensitivity of 295 was found to be promising and further could be tuned for better responsivity and efficiency in utilization of near infra-red photodetector. V C 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
